For example, k8 gives +8 bit greyscale. See +.IR image (6) +for the full range of channel descriptors. +.TP +.B \-S +Force stylus input behaviour for Tk mouse events: +motion events are received only when a button is down +(just as a stylus produces no events until it touches the screen). +This option only affects the behaviour of Tk mouse events, it does not +affect the behaviour of +.B /dev/pointer +as described in +.IR cons (3). +.TP +.B \-v +Print version data: edition and revision date. +.PP +Options may also be set in the host operating system's environment variable +.BR EMU ; +they are overridden by options supplied on the command line. +.SH EXAMPLE +To start +.B wm/logon +directly: +.IP +.EX +EMU='-g800x600 -c1' +emu /dis/wm/wm.dis wm/logon -u inferno +.EE +.SH FILES +.TF /dis/emuinit.dis +.TP +.B /dis/emuinit.dis +The default initialisation program. +.TP +.B /dis/sh.dis +The default Inferno shell. +.SH SOURCE +.B /emu +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR limbo (1), +.IR wm-misc (1) |
